5260
. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:
(a) Global travel, global trade, and climate change are
introducing invasive animals, plants, insects, and plant and animal
diseases to California.
(b) The State of California should undertake advance planning on
whether and how to address those invasive animals, plants, insects,
and plant and animal diseases that are a threat to the state's
agriculture, environment, or economy.
(c) The Legislature fully recognizes that any prediction of which
invasive pests will enter California cannot be precise because of the
many entry mechanisms.
